Yes, You Can Time the Market! Hardcover - 2003 - 1st Edition

by Ben Stein; Phil Demuth

Famed economist, attorney, and celebrity Ben Stein joins forces with investment psychologist Phil DeMuth to present a simple, unconventional approach to investing using historical data from the last 25 years.


From the publisher

Economist, actor, author, and former quiz show host Ben Stein teamed up with investment psychologist Phil DeMuth to examine a century of stock market data and discovered a profound and original investment truth: Yes, you can time the market! In their instant investment classic Yes, You Can Time the Market!, Stein and DeMuth show investors simple, readily available measurements that tell them when it's time to invest in stocks, bonds, real estate, or cash. Written for the investor who wants to preserve capital and build wealth steadily, this book offers prudent, bedrock advice for anyone who can no longer afford to play games with their money.

From the rear cover

Praise for Yes, You Can Time the Market!

"'Buy and hold' makes sense for the average investor in stocks. Even better, say Stein and DeMuth, is to buy only when prices are low and hold when prices are high, keeping accumulating savings in Treasuries while waiting for 'low' prices. They define 'low' and 'high' prices by historical experience. An interesting and thoughtful analysis."
-Professor Milton Friedman
University of Chicago, Hoover Center
Nobel Prize Winner in Economics, 1976

"Wall Street, prepare yourself. Ben and Phil hit the nail on the head with their insightful guide to investing. No gimmicks, no games, just tapping the true power of economics to make sensible investment decisions. Add to that the authors' dry wit, and this handbook is a must-read for investors small and large."
-Diane C. Swonk
Director of Economics, Chief Economist
Senior Vice President, Bank One Corporation

" The logic and reasoning are persuasive. Stein and DeMuth buttress them with evidence, lots of it. The term 'valuable' properly applies to the guidance of the conclusions."
-C. Lowell Harriss
Professor Emeritus of Economics
Columbia University

"How refreshing to read commonsense advice about the stock market! Stein and DeMuth's findings are both verifiable and free of quantitative trickery. What's more, their writing is as clear and straightforward as the methods they recommend."
-Martin Fridson
